COEUR D ALENE, Idaho A levy for the Coeur d Alene School District to give local schools $40 million in property taxes over the next two years is leading late Tuesday night.
With roughly two-thirds of precincts reporting, Kootenai County results showed voters supporting the measure with 59.76 percent of the vote.
The levy funds district operations and maintenance, to the amount of $145.54 per $100,000 of assessed taxable value, per year. Although the amount brought in is the same as the existing levy, the tax rate people will pay will decrease thanks to an influx of people moving into the district and rising property values.
